Often we want to make notes about restaurants we tried and liked, what we thought about hotels, or even which wines we liked. How do we store all this to be readily accessible? Naturally we could put it all on a flashdrive, but then we'd have to have a computer with us.
Also, I don't like to add this to my contact management program and have to sort through all these when I'm looking at the As, Bs, etc. add bulk to the database. Yahoo is easy to use for this - go to contacts.yahoo.com and see how easy it is.
Unlike Google Contacts, Yahoo Contacts gives you space to write notes. This is later easy to check by going online, either from your computer or from your iPhone. You never know when you'll want to reference these - whether to use yourself or to recommend to a colleague.

I have never heard of this. it sounds like a good idea. Especially for those that travel alot. Its good that its web based because you can access yahoo from anywhere.
Ilyce - glad you'll now be getting some use out of your Yahoo account.
Joe - I don't want to clutter my Outlook account with all these notes on hotels, restaurants, sites to visit, etc. - also easier to access on the road.
Kimberly - that's the point - you can use it from anywhere.
Barbara Jo - anything to simplify our lives!
